It's sinking and raising of the continents that's the problem. There's little point in hiding in a underground bunker if that bunker ends up in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

In addition to that, the "Social Justice 2.0" system has added a negative mark to the commenter's IP address, lowered his credit score and increased the mortgage payment's social justice tax by 200 bucks that will go to

Language and culture. The US citizens definitely have the us vs them mentality towards other countries, and so do intelligent beings realize this "me vs not me" concept. Perhaps when many small consciousnesses blend together in a

There's a simpler explanation. Stem is all about persistent laser focused attention on specific measurable things, and females are less inclined to like this activity.

If this was the cause, schools could form women-only stem classes.

Good old extortion: a drug dealer gives naive users a free sample, those get addicted and then the dealer says the price. Luckily, we can temporarily use SMS while switching to Signal.

I've read a bit about the scientology cult and their hypnosis technique seems similar. This article mentions that the sleeping person hears the command or question as a megaphone type of sound definitely coming from outside the dream.

Offtopic. Oracle does something similar, but on a bigger scale. They approach potential clients with two stacks of papers: one is a contract and the other is a lawsuit. A discreet way to nudge clients to do business with you.

It's ownership that's the problem. A would-be entrepreneur can't negotiate a 50% stake with executive rights in a bigco.

It's the conservation of momentum that prevents bitcoin from flopping. All those bitcoin owners holding a massive amount of wealth today won't just go home because someone said bitcoin is not optimal.

The article is a frankenstein of all cliches stitches together. You can reverse the order of words in it and it won't lose meaning, for its just a soup of emotions. Highly recommend to read it.

I'm thinking if the bitcoin's future is wire transfers between countries. In that case all 21M btc will be comparable with 100T of the world gdp and 1 btc will be worth 50M. Also, it will be illegal for peons to touch real btcs.

Plato and a few others told about the world of ideas and the world of matter: both exist and are connected somehow. I wonder if QM is this bridge between the two worlds and the wrong assumption we make is that QM describes the world of matt

The probability waves may be regular real waves, it's just convenient to describe amplitude and phase at every point with a complex number. We could describe water surface the same way, but it wouldn't mean water is complex.

QM is the new Ptolematic system: it makes good predictions, but because it puts Earth in the center, the orbits become needlessly complex and artificial.

You just don't resolve it. Most conflicts are about unimportant things and resolving a conflict usually burns some social capital, because someone will be proven wrong, etc.

Apple is like an upscale nightclub with high entrance fees and where a club soda costs $150. Facebook is like a cheap nightclub that gives you a club soda for free, but secretly takes pictures of you so it could sell them to whoever pays mo

They just want to label anyone who disagrees as irrational or stupid. A tired rhetorical trick.

The logic behind hiring 20% blacks is that there are 20% blacks in the US. Same for hiring 50% women. But by the same logic, we should observe that only few people have IQ around 140 and selectively hiring only this group keeps people of av

Are you pro life or against life? See how an innocent looking question can be a disguised trap. As an anon user, you can ignore the question and move on. However imagine this is asked by your interviewer or by someone who has power over you

DEI questions is a good way to select people that can lie with a straight face. Not disclosing your cards is a valuable skill for managers and to some line employees. Weak candidates bluntly speak their mind and tell more than you ask for.
